Way to go Rod...  Thanks, I will have to get off my butt and get out there more.  My problem I still need a second person to help with some chores it takes to make these simple trips work for me.  The old new hips are still recouping.  But I am going to give it that good 'ole college try.

Thanks again.

I don't know.  But Since we are here to win shirts in all different types of contest.  I would go with no, it shouldn't be entered. since it already won a shirt. Leaving this open for someone else to Win also.

Just my opinion and open for discusion if anyone wishes TT^

Rod,
Just an FYI.  I have a 'pool' on my boat.  First KEEPER fluke get a buck a man.  Largest KEEPER fluke get 5 bucks a man.  You can win both.  I would vote to let Brian's fish be entered.  Someone can catch a larger one and win.  If not, then Brian, I my opinion, deserves both wins.
Like I said, just my opinion.

Does not matter to me if his fish counts or not. But he did already win a Sweet shirt. And overcoming an 8 LB fluke off the surf isnt an easy thing. But is this for the biggest fish in Length ??? or in weight? Because i am pretty sure i saw the Longest fish up in the first post of this forum. Anyway, im excited either way. These shirts are awesome, thanks everyone that is taking care of making these shirts.. appreciate it very much.



Fish On

PS. I look forward to logging on this site after work. Ever since ive been on here and doing more fishing, i've stopped my gambling, which was a very BAD habit. Thanks all.

Hi fishon42,

Way to go I would rather spend that money of fishing stuff any day.  This site like Rod mentioned in another forum is home.  So kick your shoes off grab a cold beverage and snuggle up to a nice warm computer and chat, ask questions, discuss strategies and above all have fun catching fish.

Good Catching

I'm trying, I'm trying. Tell it to the fish... >:D

I guess I will have to just target fluke but its hard  when you see pods of bunker and you know the bass are around somewhere. 

As it is now I have three poles working at a time and 1 just for plugging.  This last time out I was worried because my wife and daughter took of and left me to watch all the poles myself. :P  I know I could do it but I hate it when they do that. :(

At least on a boat you have a captive crew; on the beach my crew seem to wander off from time to time. :P

Happy Catching
